Just out of interest have you got a link to where it says this as I cant find it.

I have just looked at the Powerpoint presentation and Investor Relations page on the AMD website and it only mentions APU and OEM solutions. No mention of retail Desktop GPU's.

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 05/06/15 -- AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today at their 2015 Financial Analyst Day is unveiling new AMD 7000 Series Accelerated Processing Units (APUs), AMD Radeon™ 300 and M300 Series Graphics, and AMD A-Series desktop APU updates, delivering a robust lineup of products in 2015 that reinforce AMD's surround computing leadership.

AMD Radeon™ 300 Series Graphics for OEM desktops: Additionally, AMD announced the availability of AMD Radeon™ 300 Series desktop graphics, available only through OEMs. The AMD Radeon™ 300 Series GPUs feature AMD's revolutionary GCN Architecture with full support for DirectX® 12. The product stack will offer a great experience on new Windows® 10 platforms and represents AMD's commitment to provide the smoothest, high-quality graphics solutions for everyday desktop users. Designs are currently shipping from HP plus additional OEMs shipping soon.

Faster than the Titan-X ^^^^^ (1)



Its in the OP Kaap! :p

I agree about reviewers, i think most of them are pretty useless full stop, including TPU but they are one of the best in a bad bunch.
And they are independent from user shenanigans, tho i do wonder about their independence sometimes, i think they do depend on those hardware vendors they review for their existence.

But what else can we do?

As it is a bit of fun use TPU.:)

I will do some runs with the cards at stock in indentical PCs (RVE, 3200mhz DDR4, 5960X) for anything else anyone is curious about.

There is an audio file somewhere with AMD's DR Lisa Sue saying HMB GPU in Jun, also a Video that was live at the time in the 390X thread, some slides confirming it came out of it, i will try to dig them out :)

Well for what its worth i do trust you.
 
What I can tell you is this.
The highest 300 series GPU will be VR compatible.
HTC launch theirs pre-Xmas. Oculus release Q1 2016.
Unfortunately Nvidia will not be able to cash in on V-R at the start as Pascal is 12-18 months away.

One last thing. I really do not believe crossfire and driver profiles will come into the equation when you see the speed of these things.
There is no need for two cards to hit 4K comfortably.
;-)
 
Indeed, I look forward to seeing what Kaap comes up with. That's what makes me laugh when I see some of the grief going Kaaps way. I think it's great that we have an active member of the forums who is happy shelling out money on new cards; it certainly will help me on my buying decision.
 
That photograph of the supposed AMD slide to partners had the 390X at 45% stronger fp32 performance compared to the 290X. So purely off that I'd have to go with TitanX level or just above for 1440p and pulling away marginally at 2160p.

edit. I guess that makes me closest to option 2.

I think in many years time the 390X could become a collectors item as it is going to be the first card with HBM which makes it unique.

For anyone buying a 390X it may be a good idea to hang onto it long after they have finished using it for gaming.
